I have researched and written many words recently – all for other people and all as a volunteer. I write for my garden club’s newsletter, and I write for my quilt guild’s blog and digital magazine. All those words are shared with both groups’ members.
This focus means I haven’t written for myself. I miss it so much; that thinking and sorting of ideas, followed by more thinking before committing words to the page. Writing without a particular audience in mind and certainly no deadlines.
I’m the only person who can change this habit so that’s what I’ll do. It starts with this post.
Do you prioritise writing for yourself?
